  1. Unfortunately, that’s less than he makes while sitting on the toilet every morning.

  3. I’m glad the voters of Wisconsin showed that the richest man in the world can’t just buy our democracy. With all of the illegal shenanigans Musk was pulling for the conservative candidate, I was really worried about this race. But thankfully the voters of Wisconsin saw through his bullshit.

  4. Despite of his money thrown in this race, Elon was a liability to the GOP. Funny how actively destroying the lives of Americans lowers your approval ratings.

  6. That’s like me spending a couple of bucks to buy a bottle of orange juice.

    But fuck him though. That being said it’ll probably motivate them harder to rig elections when they can going forward.

  7. musk spent time on this instead of running his failing companies

  8. It may not be a big blow to his pocket, but you KNOW that his fragile ego got shot by this.

  9. Regardless of the outcome, he should be thrown in jail for interfering in an election. Laws were broken, nothing has been done to him & that’s a huge deal- LOCK HIM UP!

  10. I feel especially happy for the people that got away with Ellen’s money

  12. That’s like a nickel to us. Which of course is the problem. 

  13. I’m so glad he lost that money, but it wasn’t enough. Elon Musk, is a huge, gigantic bitch. 

  14. As a Wisconsin resident, I’d like to encourage Musk to spend another $25M here to further energize Democratic turnout.

  15. Good. Destroy his ego. Break him down until he reaches nirvana with Cobain.

  16. The most expensive court race in U.S. history was him “wasting” 0.00007% of his net worth. This is why money needs to be outlawed from politics.

  17. Little more than three days work of our money at the White House.

  18. 0.008% of his (extremely variable, as of recent) $300B net worth, if you were wondering.

    Equivalent to someone with a $1M net worth donating $80. 

  21. Be cool if he spent that money on school lunches or something instead of lighting it on fire

  22. That’s a little over 3 days worth of money he gets from contracts with the US government…..make it make sense..

    Edit: typos

  23. He is Jim Cramer of voting . Soon people will start Inverse Musk

  24. pocket change for him but I’m happy for the rest of us

  25. One of the best things about this is it helps eat into Dem and Rep fears that standing up to him and Trump will get them primaries by a Musk funded opponent. The more we prove that we have more pissed off people than Musk can buy, the more of a back bone they might grow

  26. 25 Million and he’s still got enough money to just try again somewhere else. 

    It’s fuckin’ gross.

  27. $25 million lost, no problem, he’ll just reimburse himself from the U.S government coffers.

  28. That is not going to work, when you are laying people off of their jobs. Everybody is not getting the million, so people are hating him, because they know he is running the country into the ground, and people is suffering and more to come. This may be the beginning of people who live in those states that can be flipped, will start to replace some or most of the maga republican’s party. People is not going to want to suffer long-term for this unrealistic game trump is playing with the economy. We will be in a recession and his plan won’t work anywhere and I think people who voted for him, is beginning to wake up. Florida is never going to wake up. Either everybody is rich, or they don’t mind losing their social security, because that is where most elderly people go when they retire. I don’t understand what the banks are thinking, because without an economy, the banks will suffer as well. People can’t pay their credit cards, mortgage, loss of savings. WHAT IS WITH MAKING PEOPLE SUFFER. All those veterans losing their jobs, after serving the country. Who will want to serve our country knowing they will be treated badly. It is not a waste to work for the federal government, what is a waste is musk putting on a cheese hat to buy Wisconsin vote and trump golfing. Writing executive orders, and taking peoples jobs, is not working and the maga republican party needs to be replaced, because they are not working, especially not working for the people in the country, not even the ones that elected them. THANK YOU AGAIN WISCONSIN.

  29. My favorite part about this is the guy Musk was funding ran ads about OuT oF sTaTe InTeReStS aRe TrYiNg To BuY a LiBeRaL wIn.

  30. That’s like you or I spending anywhere between a few cents or maybe $50 depending on our wealth. Like he spent what 1/15000 of his money? Billionaires should not exist.

  32. Wasted Yes, but he makes that much when he sneezes, so its not the money, but the time he spent, and loss of face over this whole thing, thats much more of a loss. Donnie does not like losers so it mayu have damaged his relationship with Trump.

  33. Good! To use Elon’s own words, “Go. Fuck. Yourself.”

  34. And I didn’t win that $2 lottery ticket I bought.

    That’s literally what this is to him. $25 milly is literally equivalent to $2 of a guys salary who makes $100k.

    Please think about this when you think you’re getting taxed too much. You’re not. It’s just that these dipshits aren’t. And that’s MAGA’s whole goal.

  35. It’s also refreshing the Republican candidate conceded the race with grace and didn’t try and drag this out or claim fraud. He even made a point to say “no no, this is what must be done” or something along those lines when someone in the crowd boo’d when he said he was conceding.

  36. Remember when republicans got mad at people handing out bottles of water in November?

  37. Happy to see this scum lose in a spectacular fashion. Wasn’t even close, just a good ol beat down.

    Let’s hope this energy carries over to Pennsylvania and the midterms. Best shot at stopping Trump

  39. Legal implications aside, he won’t even notice $25 million.

    This man is a plague.

  40. For those of you with $15,080 in the bank, this is like losing $83.78.

  41. I believe $25M would fund the Meals on Wheels program for seniors facing food insecurity for approximately 8 years. Instead it got cut by DOGE. So much for saving money.

  42. Nazis aren’t welcome. So eat shit and fuck off Musk.

  43. Elon isn’t from America, this shitbird needs to be deported and have all of his assets siezed for sedition

  44. Its actually worse for him than just failing to swing this election, it totally neuters his threats to fund a primary against anyone. The world now knows that his involvement will only massively help the opposition.

    Fuck you, Elon!

  45. I get that this money is nothing for him.

    But it is a huge reputational hit. It shows that his weight means less than it did in November.

    He also spent a great deal of time on this.
